There's an unbelievable amount of fantastic music out there just waiting for you to hit "play," but it can be tough to find. We bet you're probably already familiar with Spotify, a service that streams music from online and shares music on Facebook. But Spotify's sweet spot is playing music from artists you already know -- there is no "recommendation" feature, so it's not as helpful when you want to discover new music.

We rounded up a list of our ten favorite music services designed with variety in mind: They play music you already know and love, but recommend new songs, too. For example, 8tracks is good for listening to playlists categorized by genre or mood, CitySounds lets you experience the music scene in cities around the globe, and Turntable puts you in the DJ booth. Check them out in the below slideshow.

8tracks

Think of 8tracks like your a customizable radio station DJed by your coolest friend. Users can upload playlists with eight songs or more to fit a certain genre or mood, but what makes 8tracks such an awesome find is that every single mix is amazing. If you find a playlist you love, you can follow that user's mixes to stay updated when they create new playlists.
